  Orbital engine - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
An orbital engine is a type of internal combustion engine, featuring rotary rather than reciprocating motion of its internal parts.
It differs from the conceptually similar Wankel engine by using a shaped rotor that rolls around the interior of the engine, rather than having a trilobular rotor that spins "in place".
The orbital engine was invented in 1972 by Ralph Sarich, an engineer from Perth, Australia, who worked on the concept for years without ever producing a production engine.

 Interview with Peter Cook, Orbital Engine Corporation Limited: TWST
Rotary engines, of course, have the attraction of improved power density over reciprocating engines, and despite all the technical difficulties this was worth pursuing.
Like a lot of innovation companies, it is not necessarily always the original idea that proves to be the most attractive commercially, and from those engines Orbital developed expertise in direct gasoline injection technology and particularly in air-assisted or dual-fluid direct injection technology.
The second revenue stream is derived from contractual powertrain engineering and engine management services, which we provide to OEMs, particularly in the automotive area.

Engineering Services revenue also declined; a position, I think, attributable to a focus on Licence income by management, but without a corresponding attention to cost containment in that area.
Orbital has had a long history of innovation, whether with the original Orbital engine, or with the development of automotive 2-stroke engines, or more recently, with air assisted direct injection.
Not surprisingly, Orbital has had the cost structure of a developer, and steps have now been taken to eliminate excess capacity in the development area, while at the same time improving the commercial support systems.

It was staffed by a small group of very enthusiastic inventors focused on a revolutionary and radical new ‘rotary' engine design known as the "Orbital™ Engine", hence the company's current name.
Having long since ceased development of Orbital's original rotary engine, engineering effort was focused on a complementary invention that became Orbital's core technology and that powers its customer's products today.
This led to a decision during that period to improve existing 2-stroke engines in marine applications and the proprietary development of a unique automotive engine available for licensing today.

 Vane type orbital engine - Patent 4079083
An orbital type engine having a number of vanes supported for reciprocatory movement in the housing of the engine and supported in slots in the peripheral wall of the engine and the opposed end walls.
In such an engine the vanes are supported in the housing for reciprocation in a direction normal to the plane of the shaft axis, and the vanes are connected to the piston member so that each vane may move relative thereto in a direction normal to the direction of reciprocation of the vane.
It is to be understood that the engine may also operate with conventional poppet valve or on the two stroke cycle, and the modification necessary could be readily effected by a skilled engineer.
